ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

     Arizona Land Income  Corporation (the "Company") is an Arizona  corporation
which has  elected to be treated as a real  estate  investment  trust (a "REIT")
under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986.  The  statements of  operations  filed
herewith  cover the periods from July 1, 2000 through  September  30, 2000,  and
January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000

     For the quarter  ended  September  30,  2000,  the Company had total income
before sale of properties of approximately $140,000 compared to $188,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.

     The  Company's  expenses  for the  quarter  ended  September  30, 2000 were
approximately  $20,000  compared to $34,000 for the quarter ended  September 30,
1999.

     The Company reported net income of  approximately  $123,000 for the quarter
ended  September 30, 2000  compared to $408,000 for the quarter ended  September
30, 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to gain on sale of properties
of $3,000,  compared to $255,000 for the comparable prior period. Without regard
to property sale gains, the net income was  approximately  $120,000  compared to
$153,000.

     The  Company   reported   total  income   before  sale  of   properties  of
approximately  $505,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$621,000  for the same period in the prior  fiscal  year.  This  decrease can be
attributed to a decrease in mortgage income of approximately $60,000, a decrease
in temporary investment interest of $55,000.

     For the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Company's  expenses
totaled  approximately  $110,000 compared to $132,000 for the same period in the
prior fiscal year. The Company reported net income of approximately $403,000 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to $756,000 in 1999.  Without
regard  to gain on the sale of  properties,  the net  income  was  approximately
$395,000 compared to $489,000.

     The  Company  reported  a decrease  in cash and  temporary  investments  of
approximately  $108,000  during the operating  period of January 1, 2000 through
September 30, 2000.  This decrease  resulted  primarily  from the  repurchase of
shares of Class A common stock of $1,001,000,  and  distribution of dividends of
$1,744,000. The Company also received payment in full on mortgage receivables of
approximately $2,008,000.

     Adverse  market  conditions  negatively  affected real estate values in the
metropolitan Phoenix area during the early 1990's resulting in a decline in real
estate  values and an  increase in mortgage  defaults.  The Phoenix  real estate
market has  improved  and land values have  stabilized  and  improved in certain
instances. The Company believes that such improvements will reduce the number of
loan  defaults or  modifications;  however,  there can be no  assurances in this
regard. Nonetheless,  the Company will continue to vigorously assert any and all
its legal rights in the event of a default.

     The  Company  completed  one land sale  during  the  period of July 1, 2000
through  September  30,  2000.  The sale was a 9.4 acre parcel of land which the
Company acquired through  foreclosure on Loan No. 6. The Company received a note
receivable  in the amount of  approximately  $8,600 and $1,500 in cash from this
sale.  During the first half of 2000,  the  Company  completed  three small land
sales  totaling  approximately  16 acres of  property  located in Pinal  County,
Arizona,  which the  Company  acquired  through  foreclosure  on Loan No. 6. The
Company received approximately $14,000 in cash and a $2,500 note receivable from
these sales.

     In  September  2000,  the Company  received a cash payoff of  approximately
$457,500 on Loan No. 15. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company received
a cash  payoff of  approximately  $1,055,000  on Loan No. 10, and  approximately
$496,000  on Loan  No.  5.  These  collections  were  in  addition  to  periodic
collections of principal on other notes.

ITEM 2. (CONT.)

     On September 20, 2000 the Company  announced  that it had purchased in open
market  transactions  91,000  shares of its Class A Common  Stock in the past 45
days. It is the Company's intent to retire these shares. The purchases were made
pursuant  to a  continuing  authorization  granted  by the  Company's  board  of
directors.  That  authorization  provides that the Company may from time to time
purchase  shares  of  Arizona  Land  Income  Corporation  stock in  transactions
effected in the open market or through privately  negotiated  transactions.  The
board has  authorized  the  repurchase of up to 500,000  shares at such times as
management  may  determine  that a  purchase  under the  program  is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.

     On September 22, 2000, the Company  declared a $.10 per share dividend with
a record date of October 2, 2000,  and payable on October  16,  2000.  The total
amount distributed to shareholders was approximately $216,000.  During the third
quarter of 2000,  the  Company  paid a dividend  of $.60 per share with a record
date of June 30, 2000, and payable July 14, 2000.  The total amount  distributed
to shareholders was approximately  $1,296,000.  The Company also paid a dividend
of $.10 per share on April 14, 2000,  distributed to  shareholders  of record on
April 4, 2000. The total amount  distributed to shareholders  was  approximately
$217,000.

     The  Company   believes  that  funds  generated  from  operations  will  be
sufficient  to meet its capital  requirements.  No other  arrangements,  such as
lines of credit, have been made to obtain external sources of capital.  While no
assurance can be given,  the Company  believes that such  arrangements  could be
obtained by the Company, if necessary.

     As  disclosed  in the  Company's  prospectus  used in  connection  with the
Company's 1988 initial public offering,  the Company intended to dissolve within
approximately  eight  years from the date of such public  offering.  The precise
date on which the Company will  dissolve  will be  determined  by the  Company's
Board of Directors and will depend upon market  conditions  and other  pertinent
factors. The Board of Directors also has the discretion to indefinitely continue
the operation of the Company.  As of November 7, 2000,  the Board has not made a
decision regarding the dissolution of the Company.

     The  mortgage  loan  numbers  referred  to  in  the  above  paragraphs  are
identifiers   for  those  loans  on  the  books  and  records  of  the  Company.
Additionally,  these numbers are  identified in the Company's  initial  offering
prospectus dated June 6, 1988.
